Buhari PDP chieftain commends Buhari over security measures
The PDP chieftain expressed satisfaction with the judiciary in the
handling of corruption cases but cautioned that the government should be
discerning in some of the matters.
Alhaji Bashir Rimi-Zaya, Publicity Secretary of Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi state, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for measures taken to curb insurgency in the country.
Rimi-Zayam made the commendation on Saturday in Bauchi while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He
said that he was impressed with the measures taken by Buhari towards
curbing terrorism in the North-East, and in combating other vices,
including corruption, in the country.
He said that
though it was too early to assess the achievements of the All
Progressive Congress (APC) in its nine months in government, "one has to
praise Buhari for his bold and giant strides".
Expressing
support to the president on the fight against corruption and efforts at
recovering stolen funds, he said "retrieve the loots from the looters
but don't prosecute or send them to jail’’.
"Anyone who has stolen public fund, even if it is me, should return the exact amount to the public treasury.
"But,
I am begging Buhari to set the looters free and allow them to continue
to live in terrible shame they have brought to themselves," he said.
The
PDP chieftain expressed satisfaction with the judiciary in the handling
of corruption cases but cautioned that the government should be
discerning in some of the matters.
"We all know
that there are good judges and good lawyers, and there are bad judges
and lawyers, therefore, Buhari should ensure that corrupt cases are sent
to credible judges and lawyers," he said.
